All That Glitters

No prizes for guessing the theme of this week's challenge over at Less Is More. I'm not really a fan of gold in crafting as it reminds me of when I started all those years ago, there wasn't nearly so much choice of products, all the embossing powders were metallic and everyone crafted with mirriboard. Anyhow, I came up with this idea and I kind of like it, hope you do too.

The stamp by Hero Arts was inked with Versamark and embossed with Gold Detail E.P. Punched mirriboard flowers embellished with tiny bugle beads were arranged along the branch and then I made a sign to dangle down using a Kaisercraft sentiment and a gold pen to make the 'chain'. I think the gold against the purple card looks quite striking.

There are quite a few songs with 'Gold' lyrics, but this one was most prominent in my mind. Go Shirley!

I know what you mean Fiona. I don't think I ever did a card without mirri card on it somewhere or a peel off heheThis is ust superb, love the design and the card colourDon;t work too hard, we miss you not being aroundThanks so muchmandi"Less is More"

I absolutely LOVE your take on this Fiona! The gold looks fabulous against the purple card stock. You are such a classy lady - you could have had Spandau Ballet but you opted for Shirley Bassey instead! Vicky x
